"flatulence" scene extremely over-emphasized[edit]

I would think that a scene of an actor possibly passing gas is worth a foot-note at best, but based on how many times this article mentions the incident, and the length at which this detail is discussed, you'd almost think this is the only notable aspect of the film. The only thing I learned from the countless repetitions of this trivial factoid is that Wikipedia editors are apparently as obsessed with flatulence as little kids are. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.47.102.146 (talk) 03:27, 12 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The flatulence scene is one of the only reasons this film got reviews at all. Even though this scene is not the only notable aspect about this article, it is probably the most notable aspect, despite the puerility. Considering the wealth of sources detailing the flatulence scene, I don't think that it is discussed too much in this article, but I would be glad to discuss the matter further with you if you are willing to review the relevant sources and provide your opinion.
